1) Open a LibreOffice document (Writer, Calc) and minimize it 2) Open an Explorer window, or any file manager, and use it to launch another LibreOffice document The second LibreOffice document runs maximized but stays in background, doesn't get the focus. The first LibreOffice document to be launched, opens in foreground regularly.

This shouldn't be marked as duplicate of bug 48300 when it's not same problem. Bug reported here is REGRESSION. It worked as expected in LibreOffice 4.1. Bug 48300 never worked that way and was reported for LibreOffice 3.5.1 more then 2 years ago. Wanted to report this my self, but luckly found it's already reported. I switched to 4.2 from 4.1 week ago, and this annoys hell out of me.
(In reply to comment #2) > This shouldn't be marked as duplicate of bug 48300 when it's not same > problem. Sorry but I don't get the difference. The reproduction steps and the result seems identical to me. Can you clarify please what exactly the difference?
Difference is, one in regression, other one is maybe enhancement (or bug, however you take it). Bug 48300 talks about window focus when opening already open file for second time. So: 1. Open windows explorer, maximise it so it shows full screen. 2. Open 1.ods - ODS window opens in focus (FOREGROUND), windows explorer isn't visible any more, it's in background 3. Bring windows explorer in foreground, maximised 4. Open 2.ods: - in 4.1 - ODS window opens in focus (FOREGROUND), windows explorer isn't visible any more, it's in background - in 4.2 - ODS window opens in BACKGROUND (not visible), windows explorer is still visible (this bug 75471) 5. From windows explorer open 1.ods again, same one you opened in step 2. (this is bug 48300) As far as I can see, bug 48300 is fixed. With 4.2 double opened window open in foreground. My configuration is LO 4.2.5.2 on Windows 7 64bit
Confirmed LO Version: 4.2.5.2 OS Win 8.1 Pro 64bit
Same here with 4.2.6.2 on Windows 7.
Same issue here, 4.2.5.2, Windows 7.

I'm seeing this as well, with 4.2.6.3 on fully-patched Win7/64. Simple way to reproduce: 1) open Windows Explorer 2) pull to one side so that the window occupies half the monitor width 3) double-click on whatever.ods 4) LibreOffice launches and opens whatever.ods maximized, but it remains behind Windows Explorer 5) Clicking on LibreOffice doesn't bring it to the front. Only closing Windows Explorer allows you to see whatever.ods.
don't change version field. it must indicate earliest version the bug has been seen

Only closing > Windows Explorer allows you to see whatever.ods. I can confirm this (Win7 x64). Since I installed the first stable of 4.2 (and for all versions since that), if I double-click a file (odt, ods, odp), I see the splash screen of LO, but then explorer comes in front and LO goes behind it. This doesn't happen all the time, but quite often and it very frustrating! It's a bit different from the bug report of the OP, since it happens without having any other LO document opened and minimized.
Same for Linux (4.3.4.1) but not nightly build (4.5.0.0.alpha0+). I changed the target platform to "all".
4.3.2.2 and 4.3.4.1 under Windows 7 work as expected. No problems with z-order or focus.

I use 4.3.5 and it's not coming into focus. Open windows explorer, open 1 file, LO should come into focus. Now go back to windows explorer, open second file. LO doesn't come into focus, it stays in background.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #13) > 4.3.2.2 and 4.3.4.1 under Windows 7 work as expected. No problems with > z-order or focus. I run 4.3.4.1 under Windows 7 64 Home Premium. The bug is here and it's very very annoying. Did you follow the steps to reproduce as described?
I know what happens from Linux. We talked about this issue at the UX meeting yesterday. It's a bug and we can push to get it solved as most annoying, or we wait until 4.5 (nightly build works for me on Linux; haven't tried 4.4). To double check OS: W7 Enterprise SP1, 64bit; ver reports "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]"
